The Federal Bureau of Prisons moved 53-year-old Karen Sypher to Federal Correctional Institute-Aliceville, about 55 miles southwest of Tuscaloosa, Ala. Sypher had been in a federal prison in Marianna, Fla., since being sentenced to more than seven years behind bars.

A jury convicted Sypher in 2010 of extortion, lying to the FBI and retaliation against a witness. Prosecutors said she sought the money from Pitino to stay quiet about a tryst in a Louisville restaurant. Since being convicted, Sypher has put forth a variety of conspiracy theories which have been rejected by a federal judge and law enforcement.
